Desert Night Sky Photography

Take stunning photographs of stars and star trails over the desert landscape. Instruction concentrates on selecting the appropriate camera settings for your DSLR camera, choosing a composition to maximize the night sky, and determining the appropriate direction and time of night to shoot photographs of the stars in a desert setting. We will discuss planning a photo shoot with consideration of the north star, moon phase, and moon rise/moon set times. By the end of this class you will be able to plan and execute night sky photo shoots on your own. (1 hour travel time/lunch break)

Prerequisite: Digital Photography I or comparable experience.
